What is body lotion and what is it for?
Body lotion is a combination of emulsion (which is in many ways identical to cream, but has a lighter consistency) and water. The main function of such products is to moisturize and nourish the skin, this is especially true for dry and sensitive skin, as well as after aggressive procedures, such as shaving or sunbathing. But there are also products with additional properties: whitening, self-tanning, contour modeling, anti-cellulite, sun protection.
